I'd like to see the rankings, unlike section 8 section 1's aren't posted anywhere I can find. Without providing any source information what did the Post Bulletin writer use to get his information? In past years section 1 has been very private about their seedings what changed? Without providing who...

The situation in Rochester has always made me chuckle. The youth hockey is constantly complaining about competition, but then they meet their "maker" when they have to divide the kids between four high schools. Maybe they should divide the association like Lakeville. For all the talk, the ...

I encourage everyone to attend this event as the Faribault Youth Hockey Association, Shattuck St. Mary's, and most of all the celebrity hockey players and coaches really put on a great show. The golf tournement and banquet is July 13th with the celebrity hockey game July 30th. The list of players at...

What's the big deal....Big NINE hockey suck's conference wide! It would be something if these guy's were going somewhere where there was talent and the team was a top 20 team. I haven't checked in a couple of weeks but I don't think theres a B9 team in Minn Hock's top 40! For those involved I am su...

If the captins on the squad do their job this moron will learn his lesson. Even so I agree with you contacting the coach. If the situation ends you know you have either great captins or a well respected coach.

As Jackstraw said, this guy has never been affiliated with the (Southern) Minnesota Junior Mavericks AAA organization based out of Albert Lea. The Junior Mavericks are a well run organization and one of the oldest independent AAA organizations in the state, albiet not at the caliber of the Blades, M...

On the RYHA website I see that Rochester is fielding only one PeeWee A team this year, as opposed to two teams last year. In fact they will only field one B1 team, with the rest divided between B2 and C. My guess is that one reason for the switch is in response to the both teams losing to a district...

Faribault hires Brad Ryan as its new boys hockey coach. This is a great hire for Faribault. Hopefully he can stay around longer than the previous coach.

It seems the G.M. and the coaching staff just realized who they are really working with.

Has anyone heard anything about the two openings down south, Austin and Faribault? I have not heard much on either position. As far as Faribault goes, I do know they had a lot applications to go through. The one name I did hear who was getting consideration was Chris Prescott who was an assistant a...

In The Hockey News' current prospects 2008 issue a few scouts used Wheeler as an example of why taking a chance and drafting U.S. high school prospects so high in the draft is a mistake. Overall, in the eyes of the scouts, it sounds like he hurt the reputation of the ability of high school hockey pl...

Why would the Faribault coach leave down there if the team should be good in the future? Interesting choice... Maybe he didn't have a choice. Never know The Faribault teacher's (Solem is a Social Studies teacher) are still without a contract and the situation is very tense. Without going into detai...

Faribault High School head coach Josh Solem accepted the Monticello head coaching position. Good for him and Monticello, bad for Bemidji. Hopefully Faribault can attract a quality coach. The Faribault varsity has 15 returning players, 12 of whom saw significant minutes this past season. There is al...

That's not what I have heard.

The best example of this type of thing to the extreme is the "student" athlete who transfered from private school to private school and then again to another private school. Yes it did happen.

Slapshot88 sure is opinionated and somewhat jaded (simply based upon their comments on the board), but I do agree that D1 is indeed down (and soon to be out) with the exception of a nice team from Mpls. Park. The Storm can/will compete in the South Regional next weekend at Chaska. Aside from the St...

faribault DOES NOT have a best 100 peewee player in the state. I will leave it at that since these kids are under 14.. YOU ARE WRONG. They do have 10 of the dirtiest 100 players. toucha Since these kids are under 14 you take the high ground, but you go on to call them "dirty". Are you ret...

if #5 is playing a district 6 team , he may show " hey this kid has some skills" if he is playing Albert Lea or New Prague the coach may say "oh one more thing, lets stop #5" Fairbault ( dirtiest team in the state) and Prague will get pounded by any of the district 6 teams in re...

Congrats to Mankato West. Big 9 Champions! Three years ago they finished in a tie for 10th, quite a turn-around. First team outside of Rochester in 15 years. I would think Rochester will be back in the hunt next year tho, as Mayo i think, returns their whole team. I also was looking back on this th...

A quick update for this thread on Faribault:

Lost to Orono 5-4
Tied Hopkins 3-3
Beat New Ulm 11-1
Beat Marshall 9-2
beat Willmar 8-0

Will be playing Apple Valley and Sibley Area in early Feb.

These guys need to opt to play in Class A. They are the worst program in D6 at the youth level. Are you old enough to remember the battles between Minnetonka (I assume that is where you are from judging by your use of Skipperville) and Kennedy youth hockey teams back in the 80's and early 90's, the...

I thought so to, but I swear I saw Eagles on their jerseys. Did I miss something?

No, you are correct, 'Eagles' is on the back of the jersey, but it is the name of the sponser (Eagles Club).

My wife warned that it could get foggy tonight. I thought about that as I headed down 35W again, the holy freeway. The drive would be shorter this time. I was headed for Faribault to watch them play Mankato in a key D4 game. Both teams had impressive records. Mankato was unbeaten in league play at ...
